Conversely, whenever I have to use a web app, if I click on something and it selects the text (outside of lineedit and text areas), it just feels unfinished and unprofessional - and a big turn-off for that app in general.

It is still possible to register Gmail accounts without a phone number. I suppose they primarily use IP reputation to determine when they allow it but device seems to matter too.

In the past you could use BlueStacks android emulator to register Gmail accounts without sms verification even with VPN IPs.

Sorry, "dutch strategy" because the good burghers of Amsterdam, Rotterdam, etc. realised that although sailors have deplorable* morals, the burgher's prosperity depended upon having many sailors transiently around, so the burgher's solution was to create neighbourhoods catering to vice, with the idea that it would be tolerated there, and specifically there — far from the "good" neighbourhoods where their silk-skirted patent-leather-shod daughters hung out.

You wouldn't be interested in an answer from an internet stranger. But please tell me how "dollar cost averaging" would help any investor in a real world scenario?

It actually grieves me that your average person is completely unwilling to just take a few days of their life to understand investing and what it is and how they can sensibly do it. Instead they decide to treat it like a casino and chase hocus-pocus like "dollar cost averaging" or "technical analysis" or "day trading".

Every person usually has some area of expertise or interest, or even a hunch. Take that and invest accordingly, long term. There are tools available to make any investment very conservative or very risky, according to taste.

It seems like you've decided to demonstrate stereolambda's thesis about "straight up denialism". The guy who invented the term "Dark Ages" was Petrarch, and he certainly didn't mean that the amount of primary sources had decreased significantly. He didn't need primary sources to learn about the Dark Ages; he could just look around¹.

The standard rebuttal to your sort of denialism is https://slatestarcodex.com/2017/10/15/were-there-dark-ages/ and its followup https://slatestarcodex.com/2017/10/17/highlights-from-the-co.... Its central thesis:

> The period from about 500 to about 1000 in Christian Western Europe was marked by profound economic and intellectual decline and stagnation relative to the periods that came before and after it. This is incompatible with the “no such thing as the Dark Ages” claim except by a bunch of tortured logic, isolated demands for rigor, and historical ignorance.

As persuasively argued in those essays, this is supported by mainstream historical understanding of the late Western Roman Empire and the early medieval period in Europe; it is nearly universally agreed among historians that, in Christian Western Europe, this period (0500–01000 CE) showed long-lasting declines in wealth, population, urbanization, large-scale infrastructure, technical innovation, and literature, not just surviving primary sources. (The author has inserted notes in them to link to corrections where he turns out to have been mistaken.)

¹ Nowadays, though, the term "Dark Ages" is commonly defined to end several centuries before Petrarch.

Someone pointed out on Reddit that DeekSeek v3 is 53x cheaper to inference than Claude Sonnet which it trades blows with in the benchmarks.

This is different though, you intentionally went in to drive a Tesla, that puts more onus on you. You didn’t go to pick up a Mazda and then got switched to a Tesla as an “upgrade.”

> Other car rentals do it as well.

I had the same thought and have used that point in debates in the past on this topic. For some reason, electric is different to people and they just won’t accept logic and reason. What’s different about getting a Tesla when expecting a Taurus vs getting a manual transmission diesel U-Haul truck when expecting automatic and gasoline?
I think the point of article wasn't that 'sensational' history is wrong, it was just that the sensational one gets the attention.

Hard Core History is a podcast, and fairly accurate.

Even HBO shows like The Pacific, while dramatized, didn't have anything obviously 'wrong'. While being dramatic can help people put themselves into the situation, and help understanding. It doesn't just have to be a book of figures.

I think you are conflating that 'real' history books must be dry, with 'dry' being 'correct'.

But other forms of media can also be used to present accurate information.

Or to restate, accuracy isn't dependent on the form of media.

The first step for allowing local reasoning is to break your product into independent subdomains that are as independent as possible.

For a software company, this means crafting the product ownership of your team such that the teams can act as independently as possible.

This is where most companies already fail.

My problem with OO bashing is not that it isn't deserved but seems in denial about pathological abstraction in other paradigms.

Functional programming quickly goes up it's own bum with ever more subtle function composition, functor this, monoidal that, effect systems. I see the invention of inheritance type layering just in adhoc lazy evaluated doom pyramids.

Rich type systems spiral into astronautics. I can barely find the code in some defacto standard crates instead it's deeply nested generics... generic traits that take generic traits implemented by generic structs called by generic functions. It's an alphabet soup of S, V, F, E. Is that Q about error handling, or an execution model or data types? Who knows! Only the intrepid soul that chases the tail of every magic letter can tell you.

I wish there were a panacea but I just see human horrors whether in dynamically-typed monkey-patch chaos or the trendiest esoterica. Hell I've seen a clean-room invention of OO in an ancient Fortran codebase by an elderly academic unaware it was a thing. He was very excited to talk about his phylogenetic tree, it's species and shared genes.

The layering the author gives as "bad OO" admin/user/guest/base will exist in the other styles with pros/cons. At least the OO separates each auth level and shows the relationship between them which can be a blessed relief compared to whatever impenetrable soup someone will cook up in another style.

Have to agree. The article came of needlessly obtuse.

History doesn't have to be page long sentences with 14 citations, in order to be accurate.

It is possible to be historically accurate in the vernacular, and in different medias.

Of course, I also accept that maybe the current vernacular is degrading. But, both can be happening. Maybe readers have less patience now, and a lot of historians aren't great story tellers either. And also, an entertaining story, can also be accurate.

Creem: The payment platform that calls BS on hidden fees
Is there a version with a three (or even four) port VLAN capable switch? One port for the BMC, one looped back into the normal NIC and one (or two) upstream ports? Of course it would require a full height PCI bracket, but it would be perfect for colocated servers (no additional space or power requirements) and maybe cheap enough for budget hosters to offer as a reasonably priced KVM option.

It would also be interesting to make the PCIe card a good enough NIC (please use an effectively universally supported chip) to avoid the loopback cables.

About 99% of the time I want console access I would vastly prefer a proper serial port (≥115200 baud, 8N1, hardware flow control and break condition). Make that and power control (status, on, off, warm reset, cold reset) available via SSH over WireGuard. If done well it requires a lot less bandwidth and is more snappy. While I'm wishing for things please add mosh too ;-).

I don't think that's true? You need to time something at the system level (e.g. measure the duration of an operation, or run something at a regular interval) a lot more often than you need a user-facing time.

I've been using this a bit lately. It's very easy to throw a basic working prototype together and doesn't require that much boilerplate in order to get widgets on a screen, which is great. On the other hand layout management is a bit of a pain and there is apparently no easy way to say, for example, "these three widgets should take up 60%, 25% and 15% of the available horizontal space, respectively". I think that is just a consequence of being immediate mode.
